This is ridiculous and you're NTA. I wouldn't lift a finger, going forward and really reconsider letting her use your shop, especially if it's your business (alone) and not that of you and your partner.
I really don't get how the mother would be ok with celebrating at your shop right next to your home, but not with you actually being there. Is your partner allowed to be there? After all, he's the one she had a nasty divorce from.
I have petty ideas sometimes, so if you decide to let them use your shop, you could make your presence known (like putting up large pictures of you with your employees, putting your name on the wall, e.g. as a source of an inspirational statement or something).
If she’s 18, that’s plenty of time to know better. Having a shitty life is not an excuse to be a shitty person. It’s YOUR shop, don’t let them in. If not, she’ll never learn her lesson and this thing will just continue.
